If you wish to contribute to The Newhaven Library you will first need to create an account, go to Users in the menu top right and select Login/Register, you will then be presented with the Login form, at the bottom of the form you will see Don't have an account? click the link to register an account.

All fields in the registration form are mandatory, if you could select a user name that is either your Embers Adrift main character or your Discord name this will make it easier to recognise you, once you have completed the form click Register, you will then see a message in the bottom right hand corner saying you account was created and an email was sent to the email address you registered with.

Now check your email including junk where you should find an email from The Newhaven Library, click the link to activate your account, you will see a message at the bottom right which reads "Your email address has been verified. Once an administrator approves your account you will be notified by email and you can login to the site.", to avoid bots trying to register with the site unfortunately this is a precaution we must take, an admin will approve your account please be patient as the team is spread across the US and Europe.

You will be informed by email when an Admin approves your account and given you the appropriate permissions to access the site, this will initially be limited to only creating and editing your own content.

Once you have been approved you have the option to use a pass key, to do this login using your password, when you see your profile page click Edit Profile top right and there you can set a pass key to login with in future.

There are currently three content categories when it comes to adding to the wiki.

• Single pages that have existing articles with an edit button.
• Pages that have a notification that there are no articles in this category.
• Pages that state they are place holder and cannot yet be edited by everyone.

Single pages that have exist articles with an edit button

This type of content is literally a single page of information and is the predominant type of content, you simply have to edit the article, all the publishing data is already set.

The title of the article should explain the type of content you should be adding, for example Tradeskills, this should contain basic information on what Tradeskills are and how they work, the same for Defender, Striker and Supporter.

Pages that have a notification that there are no articles in this category

This type of content is for things like guides where there could be multiple ways to spec a character or guides on Tradeskills or tutorials on various aspects of the game, to add an article go to the User menu and click Contribute > Create Article and you will be redirected to the HTML Editor.

When creating an article of this type remember that it will be part of a list of articles and will require a Read More link after a couple of paragraphs, the icon for this is on the bottom row of the editor the icon on the far right, you will also need to select the correct category which is the same as listed below.

Pages that state they are place holder and cannot yet be edited by everyone

Currently this content can only be edited by those with max level permissions on the site, the reason for this is we are still working on how to add the data effectively, this effects most of the World category and relies on other content being available before these pages can be fully functional.

We are thinking about creating article templates for some of the sections listed below that you can copy and paste into the HTML editor to help us start adding the missing data to populate the pages properly.

• Zone
• Ember Veins
• Dungeons
• Solo Loops
• Quests
• Ember
• Standard
• Tradeskill
• Bulletin Boards
• Bosses
• NPC's

 
We will add more info about creating content as we go along.

The site uses a standard HTML WYSIWYG Editor called JCE Editor, we have stripped it down a little as we need to preserve the style of the site for consistency but there is still a lot you can do with it, for those experienced with HTML you can use your favourite editor and paste your code into the code tab, be aware however that JCE will implement restrictions on what code you can actually use at times, only HTML can be used, embedding is prohibited.

You can find the JCE documentation here.

We hope to add a small tutorial video soon.
